Shoot Don't Shoot

from Police Use of Force Hosted by Michael Fortune

Here we have two cases, one bomb threat where the suspect told an officer he had a bomb and the officer saw what he thought was a detonator present and no shots are fired. In a contrast case, a man who happens to be black was asleep at the wheel, with a gun in his waistband and his foot on the brake, officers close in and a white officer with a ballistic shield shoots at a moving vehicle and kills the driver. Which poses the greatest threat, a man with hand on a detonator or a man sleep with a gun in his waistband?. If your white you live, if your black you die.
